would the sillouette work for absorbing loose bowel movement when an accident happens?

It has worked well for me with that as well as urinating and not knowing that you have done either of these.

I am not sure as that would have more substance to it. However they do fit tight just like underwear so it may be able to hold up. You could possibly buy a small pack or email the manufacturer & see if they offer samples. I hope this helps. Vicki

I believe the would if they had a thicker padding. I also believe you need to make a plastic under pant that one could wear at night due to the fact I find the wetness goes up your back area when lying down. I really like the Silhouette pantie as it is more like a regular pantie than any other style.

this will only operate on motion that it detects.....if motion is obstucted, it will not detect....might I suggest the Fulcrum 20032-301. it is battery operated but you could stick it undernear the storage racks... it has great reviews...I am thinking of getting one myself for such a situation

No and Yes. This device would be best used for quick bathroom brakes. Kind of a squat and go, or stand and go. But, you can buy a hose attachment and cut a hole in your panties and run the hose down your leg or out your zipper if you wanted to be creative

I believe this would work very well for you--as long as you are not pressed against the side--and even then I don't think they could bight through....I believe this was originally designed for emergency situations with just such issues/potentials--to prevent the spread of disease in catastrophe situations. Best and safe travels!

Oh, probably, but you'd have to partly stand to make enough room for the Freshette and hold it tight to make sure nothing spills. It's capable of fitting tightly so not to "spill" anything, but if you were leaning backward in a car you'd be defying gravity so be careful. Not the best, but it would probably work. If you could remain more vertical and inch up enough to make a few inches room you'd probably be fine.

It might work but as someone else pointed out it has that big hole where the center buckle normally pulls through (maybe you or someone you know can sew it closed?). If it's a minor accident or just as a precaution with a pretty well potty trained child it might be ok.

I think you would be better served to buy a riser that already has safety rails on it. My problem, which this solves, is that I had a difficult time getting off the toilet because I have bad knees. This is perfect for this problem. Why not call the mfg?

I tried crystals -- bad idea. The machine sifts out the solid poop just fine, and the crystals absorb the urine like they're supposed to. BUT, the crystals shifting as they were sifted was a constant source of low level noise, and the crystals got caught in the moving parts and were broken up, which was horrendously noisy, and most likely an undue strain on the motor. I'm pretty sure using the crystals caused the motor to give out early, as the second unit I purchased (and didn't use crystals in) has lasted much longer.

As a nurse , I am not sure what purpose that would serve since you would already be sitting in warm water . And I cannot think of a way that you could stabilize it in a big tub of water . This unit fits beautifully right onto the toilet once the seat is lifted . It creates a time out in which you can catch up on reading while you ease discomfort from arthritic sit bones , hemorrhoids , and or rectal tears . It works very well & is easy to use as directed .

That would not be comfortable, even if using the stool backwards. You could scoot back farther so the legs are closer, the legs would not be together.

Who cares!!! I use this contraption to shake my caboose to loosen my stool, as long as the whole thing fit by Back Door Love hole, why would I care.

Our boxer Harry is 100 lbs. and he leans forward to urinate. The harness did not obstruct urination or bowel movements, but at times depending how Harry was positioned, poo and urine would get on the harness. I would recommend several harnesses, so you always have one on hand while the other is getting laundered. I would run the harness through the delicate cycle in our washing machine and hang dry it. Harry has partially recovered from his ruptured disk and no longer needs the harness, but we keep it on hand for when he gets tired or needs help up the stairs.

No, using it to pull yourself up from a sitting position will result in pulling it off the rim of the tub. I use this device to steady my self when standing to taking a shower. It works well for that.

This will work, it is very sedative. If you touch it it will go off. Hope it works for you.

I have only used the device in the car where the seat is firm. It works quite well for pivoting my father's position to forward facing after I place him on the seat with a portable lift. He is completely incapacitated and cannot help me since suffering a serious stroke. Before using this simple device it was a struggle to reposition him since he outweighs me by 100lbs. I have not used this device in the bed and I'm not sure how it would work on a softer surface.

Not positive. But, considering it's for pets and they can have "accidents", it should. Sorry I'm not much help.

Yes, but...It will come off before hurting you no matter what! So, it won't cause an injury to this vital area.I used it for about a month or two and with it's help I've retrained my self that I don't need it on anymore!I keep it by the sink so I see it and I know I can use it. Only once in about a week or two do I have to rush to toilet, otherwise, just knowing it there helps! Such a relief!Ken B.
